This is the middle of the night in a night club
People are dancing to a raw dub
They forget their worries of the week
Moving together as one
A plumber, a student, a banker, a boss
A son, a widow and a dad
Different lives and different souls
But everyone is dancing to the raw dub
Why are these moments so brief?
Happiness leaves like a thief
It will soon be time to go home
With the 5 o'clock walk
Midnight rock, this is the midnight rock
Midnight rock, this is the midnight rock
This is the middle of the night in a tiny bedroom
A mother is crying in the gloom
Her baby finally fell asleep
Making her green eyes weep
She could not hold back no more
She could not hold back no more
Tears, stream to the floor
She could not hold back no more
Midnight rock, this is the midnight rock
Midnight rock, this is the midnight rock
This is the middle of the night at the factory
Jay is working hard at the assembly line
While Amy is at home with their baby
Jay is working hard for their future to shine
The middle of night and I dream
The middle of night and I dream
This is the middle of the night
The middle of the night
The middle of the night this is midnight rock
